Abstract :
We report small-size high-Q resonators suitable for Ka-band oscillators based on alumina ceramic and temperature-compensated by using rutile material. The resonators can be mounted onto LTCC boards by means of surface-mount pick-and-place technology. The influence of tolerances is investigated. Unloaded Q-factors of more than 600 can be obtained at 33 GHz. This performance is compared, with regard to volume and cost, with other resonator structures.
